Thanks to our friends at the National Arts Centre, we have a series of podcasts to help you get the most out of your trip to Ottawa this June. We include this in the Canadian Podcast Buffet episodes and felt it would be useful to have here as well.

Enjoy!

Places mentioned:

PAB2010 will be taking place in Ottawa (Canada) at the National Arts Centre‘s Fourth Stage, June 18-20, 2010.

Information on registration, programming and all that other great stuff will be published beginning in the fall.

Also, watch for audio of PAB09 to be published this summer on the Canadian Podcast Buffet.

It’s hard to believe that we’ve all scattered for another year.  PAB09 was incredible!!!

We’ll publish more about PAB09 in the coming weeks.  In the meantime we wanted to make sure that we published our thank you to the entire PAB community — participants, ambassadors, speakers, friends and sponsors — for making PAB09 a major success.  It’s astounding that we are all able to make each PAB better than the last.

PAB2010 will be taking place at the National Arts Centre in Ottawa.  We will be publishing more details after we’ve had a chance to digest everything that we learned, talked about and experienced this year.  Thank you to the Holiday Inn Kingston Waterfront, Baldwin Audio Visual, Kingston Thousand Islands Boat Cruise Company and all of the amazing local eateries (including Forno which we overwhelmed twice in each of the last three years), coffee shops, bars and stores for being a part of the PAB experience to date.
